Chapter 2

The participants entered the large hall decorated with the flags of various countries. The hall was vast, and the atmosphere was filled with tension and anticipation, as representatives from multiple countries gathered, some with their presidents in attendance, while others sent their foreign ministers. The chairs were arranged in a large circle around a huge table where everyone met to exchange opinions.

The Chair of the Meeting (calmly but firmly):

"We are here today to discuss solutions to the economic crises that threaten the stability of our continent. We must devise strategic plans for cooperation between our countries, but there is one important matter we must address. The five major organizations have started dealing with certain countries individually, and this is very dangerous for us."

Aksir (Country 1) (in a concerned tone):

"But how can we allow this? These organizations are strengthening their ties with certain countries, which will increase the disparity between us. If this continues, we will be in a weak position on the global stage."

Niros (Country 2) (cautiously):

"We can't let competition ruin our relations. We must unite and build a unified economic front to face these organizations. If they continue exploiting individual countries, we will have a serious problem."

Tiron (Country 3) (assertively):

"We need mutual understanding. Some countries are striving for economic domination, and we must be in a position to negotiate with these organizations on equal terms."

The Chair of the Meeting (interrupting):

"Yes, that's true. Our competition must be limited to developing our internal projects and strengthening integration among us. Cooperation is the only solution to avoid the division of economic powers on the continent."

Valeria (Country 4) (seriously):

"But we must ensure that our smaller countries are not negatively affected. We need a plan to protect our national economies and not allow the major organizations to exploit us."

Drinar (Country 5) (angrily):

"What's the problem with working with the organizations? There are some smaller organizations we work with, but when it comes to big projects with huge amounts of money, we must work with them. This is the only way to ensure success in the global market."

Aksir (Country 1) (firmly):

"The problem with the major organizations is that they take a huge share of the profits and do not respect the laws. They are powerful organizations with the ability to impose their terms, and this makes them above everyone. Moreover, if you decide to work with them, you are forced to accept their terms simply because they are strong."

Tiron (Country 3) (decisively):

"Organizations like these impose their control over the markets and leave no room for equal opportunities between countries. If we allow them to dominate, we will lose our ability to make decisions on our own. We must look for other solutions apart from these major organizations."

Valeria (Country 4) (worriedly):

"But if we continue rejecting working with them, we might close the doors to many opportunities that could benefit our countries. Maybe we need a more flexible way of thinking instead of complete rejection."

Niros (Country 2) (hesitantly):

"But we must keep in mind that not all these organizations are bad. Some smaller organizations work more flexibly, and the opportunities to work with them might be less harmful than dealing with the major powers that impose their conditions."

Aksir (Country 1) (interrupting):

"But if we decide to form alliances with some of them, we will allow them to strengthen their position at our expense. We need to build strong alliances between us before we turn to the outside, or we will become mere followers in the global market."

Chair of the Meeting (concerned):

"We are discussing this issue unproductively. If we continue debating without reaching an agreement, we will remain stuck and solve nothing. We need to come up with an effective plan instead of these discussions."

Tiron (Country 3) (firmly):

"The solution is not in forming alliances with these major organizations, but in developing our internal economy and enhancing cooperation among ourselves. We need to cooperate and work together to develop alternatives. We must not let the major powers dominate us."

Drinar (Country 5) (clearly frustrated):

"Are we really ready to give up huge profit opportunities just because we don't want to work with the major organizations? This will set us back economically."

Nordalia (Country 6) (seriously):

"I want to say something important, and I would like to remind you of something very significant. There is an organization that has started moving quickly at this time, and that is Arcadia. This organization has halted a major project worth 226 million Phoenix, a project meant for a company operating in Firan. We must come to an agreement with them, or else investors will flee. What's even stranger is that they didn't just take the money; they destroyed and burned everything. Their actions are very odd; it seems like a response or revenge."

Shocked voices filled the room. Some of the leaders exchanged bewildered glances, while others appeared completely stunned. Their faces froze, and they couldn't even breathe for a few moments. The situation was incredibly strange, as if they were facing a greater threat than ever before. It was clear that this was more than just an economic move; it was a message filled with power and intimidation.
